The New England Patriots are enjoying a breath of fresh air this offseason under franchise legend and new head coach Mike Vrabel. While general manager Eliot Wolf is still the chief decision-maker for the franchise, things already look quite a bit different ahead of the 2025 NFL season.
Free agency and the draft brought countless new players to New England, which not only bolstered the roster but it put pressure on the players who were kept from last year's four-win team. Perhaps no position is more crowded and competitive right now than wide receiver.
With the additions of veterans like Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins, as well as third-round draft pick Kyle Williams, a player like Ja'Lynn Polk could be on thin ice despite being a second-rounder in 2024.
